Pill Refining Pavilion.

Han Li gathered all the Rebirth Pills and left the place.

He did not plan to refine all the Rebirth Pills today, as it would be too time-consuming. It took two hours to refine just five furnaces of Rebirth Pills; even without sleep, food, or drink, it would take a full day and night to finish refining sixty furnaces.

Han Li had already planned it out, he would just refine five furnaces of Rebirth Pills per day, and he could finish in twelve days—he wasn’t short on time.

The pressing matter was how to allocate these one hundred and twenty Rebirth Pills; this was only the first batch. Once the spiritual medicine required for the Rebirth Pills matured, the second batch could be refined.

At the summit of Chengdao Peak, Han Li stood tall with his hands behind his back, clad in white robes as pure as snow and his coat hem fluttering in the cool breeze.

He had been here for quite a while, feeling a headache over the distribution of the Rebirth Pills.

“Husband, what troubles you so?”

Lu Tianxiang’s figure drifted over. Today, she wore a purple dress that highlighted her noble grace and pure elegance.

Han Li forced a smile and said, “I’ve gathered all the materials for the Rebirth Pills. I’ve just refined five furnaces, a total of ten pills. Once all the medicinal materials are processed, there should be a total of one hundred and twenty, I guess.”

“I’m having a headache over how to distribute them. Xiangxiang, you’ve come just in time; give me some advice.”

Rebirth Pills?

Lu Tianxiang’s phoenix eyebrows raised slightly, and an odd look appeared on her stunning face.

Originally, she had been deceived by the Great Emperor to capture Han Li but ended up being captured by him instead. Through a series of accidents, she became Han Li’s first wife.

“I remember a Rebirth Pill can improve a cultivator’s aptitude by one grade, and it can only raise it to Ninth Grade at most, right?” Lu Tianxiang asked in a quiet voice.

Han Li nodded.

“In that case, the Rebirth Pills are useless for me, Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and Gongsun Yue, as well as the children we four have,” she said.

“Among those in Han Mansion who need Rebirth Pills, the main ones are those beautiful concubines of yours and their descendants, along with the Guest Elders and guards who are affiliated with us.”

“Outsiders can be put aside for now. In your circle of concubines, sisters Lin Yiyin and Lin Yiwu also don’t need them. Among the descendants, only the eldest son of little sister Yiwu, Han Yonglin, does not need a Rebirth Pill; the others all need them to improve their aptitudes. It really isn’t easy to allocate.”

“With not many Rebirth Pills and an ever-growing number of concubines and descendants, the allocation all comes down to what you think, Husband.”

“If you wish to focus on cultivating our descendants to create a backbone for Han Mansion, then prioritize giving Rebirth Pills to them; if you feel the sisters’ aptitudes are too low and their lifespans too short to accompany you for long, then you can prioritize giving them to your concubines,” Lu Tianxiang pondered before sharing her thoughts.

“Xiangxiang’s words make perfect sense.” Han Li thought so too but was somewhat conflicted over the specifics of the allocation.

There weren’t few in Han Mansion with aptitudes above Ninth Grade who did not need the Rebirth Pills. The guards and Guest Elders could also be disregarded for the time being. He’d wait until he ascended to the Divine Yuan Realm or Tongxuan Realm, when the Rebirth Pills have satisfied the needs of concubines and descendants before considering them.

He currently had seventy-two concubines, like Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, Qiu Yueyao… Zhou Zhiruo, Zhou Zhixuan, and so on. Among these concubines, only Lin Yiyin and Lin Yiwu did not need Rebirth Pills.

That still left seventy who did. The aptitudes of the concubines were concentrated between Sixth Grade and Seventh Grade, with only a few who had joined later and had not undergone significant qualitative improvement in their aptitude due to their recent initiation.

Han Li made a preliminary calculation: if he focused on allocating to the concubines, he would need approximately one hundred Rebirth Pills, leaving only twenty for cultivating descendants, which was clearly insufficient.

He had over eight hundred descendants, nearly three hundred of whom had potential. Among these, only Han Yongzhen and Han Yonglin did not need Rebirth Pills.

If he disregarded those with poor comprehension, no abilities, or who were simply waiting for death, there were about eighty left. These were the ones Han Li focused on cultivating or had included on his list of candidates.

These eighty descendants had aptitudes ranging from Ninth Grade to Sixth Grade. To raise them all to Fifth Grade would require about two hundred Rebirth Pills.

That is to say, Han Mansion’s current need was three hundred Rebirth Pills, but Han Li had only one hundred and twenty in hand. Thus, how to allocate them became a technical matter—if done poorly, it could discourage certain concubines and descendants.

With Han Li’s presence, they naturally would not voice any complaints, but surely they would harbor thoughts in their minds, which was what Han Li wanted to avoid.

Holding Lu Tianxiang gently in his arms, Han Li softly blew in her ear and lightly bit her earlobe before whispering, “Xiangxiang, if your husband is a bit greedy and wants both, what should we do?”

He wanted to cultivate a portion of his descendants as well as raise the aptitude of all his beautiful concubines to Fifth Grade.

Lu Tianxiang gave Han Li a look and after a moment’s thought, she said, “Why not do it according to seniority?”

“Oh? How so?” Han Li had an idea forming in his mind.

“Your concubines could be ordered by the time they married into Han Mansion, while those descendants worthy of cultivation could be ordered by their birthdates. When more Rebirth Pills are refined later on, continue allocating them using this method,” she said.

“However, Husband, it would be best if you split the Rebirth Pills in half to manage both ends,” Lu Tianxiang spoke deliberately.

Han Li’s eyes brightened. Embracing Lu Tianxiang’s pretty face, he kissed her passionately and said excitedly, “Let’s do as Xiangxiang suggests.”

He thought the method was good. Going by seniority could leave no room for objection, and splitting the Rebirth Pills evenly between concubines and descendants would silence any discontent—as each concubine also had descendants who were being prioritized for cultivation.
